Balance

I made a spur of the moment decision last week to slow down a bit and enjoy the last days of August.  I have been a whirlwind of activity, in constant motion working, working and working some more and I finally had enough!  SO the last two weekends I spent at the pool, sitting on our lovely garden patio, going to movies and spending much needed time as a wife.  The last year has been so full of activity that I had forgotten how good it feels to just enjoy time spent in peace and calm and doing not much of anything too intense!  In the last week I visited Borders 3 times because I have been plowing through the Twilight series of books which have been great to read by the pool and have let my brain just escape into a fun and quick story! One of my trips I remembered to stop and find my own book there it was in the craft section of Borders ( I had a happy moment) and then it was off to devoure another vampire novel by the pool.  Now I am preparing myself for a mass of in laws at our house for the next week and it will be more disctractions for me but I am finding that it helps my creativity if I step away and just be normal and then come back to all of my creative goals...balance.
